Is the blood of the Hepatic Portal Vein, Oxygenated on Deoxygenated?

Answer 1

Blood of the hepatic portal vein contain de-oxygenated blood. All of the blood which passes through the intestine and spleen is delivered to the liver by the hepatic portal vein for detoxification.

The liver also receives arterial blood, carrying oxygen, from the hepatic artery.

Blood flow to the liver is unique in that it receives both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. As a result, portal blood has lower pO2 and perfusion pressure than the other organs of the body. Blood passes from branches of the portal vein through cavities between "plates" of hepatocytes called sinusoids. Blood also flows from branches of the hepatic artery and mixes into the sinusoids to supply the hepatocytes with oxygen. This mixture percolates through the sinusoids and collects in a central vein which drains into the hepatic vein. The hepatic vein subsequently drains into the inferior vena cava.

Answer 2

If its an actual "vein" then it is deoxygenated. I believe arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the different parts of the body and veins bring it back.

Answer 3

A vessel that carries blood to the liver from the spleen, the stomach, the small and large intestine, the pancreas and the gallbladder. It is the hepatic artery that brings fresh oxygenated blood from the aorta, so therefore the hepatic portal vein is oxygenated blood.

Answer 4

IT is deoxygenated.

All veins have deoxgenated blood except the pulmonary vein which is oxygenated

All arteries have oxygenated except the pulmonary artery which is deoxygenated

Answer 5

De oxygenated. It's a vein. Only the pulmonary artery carries de oxygenated blood.

Answer 6

de-oxygenated blood
